They have the know-how to go into those fields while working elsewhere and passing their licensing exams, if they choose to do so. Either way, Canada is getting qualified talent, that will either contribute to the society through medical service and/or high taxes. Either way, this is why I'm against the C-19 bill. I believe that high achievers should be given an opportunity, I know that it's a zero sum game but people with potential should be given a shot. Now from the perspective of Canada, maybe they could make the licensing exams more available, so that you can take the tests from your home country and only move when you pass the exams, like the US does. But in any case it's a win-win for both parties, if you don't segregate these fields and make it seem like an impossible mission. Just my two cents...

Canadian authorities really need to rethink their strategy on medical professionals. Canada is struggling with a shortage of medical staff and long wait lines and at the same time they make it really difficult for someone to practice in Canada. I understand that they want to make sure the doctors / nurses are good enough and understand Canadian healthcare standards but they can't expect an experienced doctor to come to Canada and then flip burgers while he jumps through the hoops to get a license and then some hospital telling him he doesn't have Canadian experience.
The NOC specific thing is good in theory but the devil is in details. Also, I will concede it is way easier said then done but there has to be an effort to solve the issues. The number of stories I have read / heard of Doctors driving uber in Canada to survive are heartbreaking.
And please keep in mind that a foreign medical graduate will have to cough up around 6,000 CAD for licensing exams and administrative fees. For most graduates from 3rd world countries, this is will be extremely difficult, with monthly salaries being ~300-500 CAD.
Very good point. That is a huge barrier. Plus someone coming will not have a job in hand and can't spend that kind of money.
Here is a thread on reddit which gives a glimpse of why Canada needs more medical personnel
Nobody knows but there is hope that yes! I am in the same situation as you. But since I have 500+ score due to my French, I am anxiously hoping that I'll get selected this year. You never know what the future holds! But learning French was a good idea.
Hey @ashu2111
Out of curiosity, what's your score and where are you from ? I am trying to figure out what could be the distribution of the 501+ club.
My faith and hope in Canada's technology advancement waned yesterday, when I received a letter in the post, to confirm that I have now opened an online provincial utilities account.
A paper letter to confirm an online transaction guys. And it took 5 days to get to me too
.My Canadian experience is me doing stuff I already did like 10 years ago that they are just trying to introduce in the org I work for. I can feel myself getting dumber by the day.
But I still like Canada

Hi ! @ElvisRamaj
Do you have any idea what the previous stat data was ? As in to relate how much progress they have probably made
I'm sure those 27k PNP will get done before the FSW
Soon the backlog will be the size of Canada's population and they get to double their population.
